the furniture store of Mr.. W L. Gilbert
At the rear door they had piled kind
ling and set it on fire, which caught the
double door and sill and burnt a hole about
foot square, and then evidently it went out
Of its own accord A light was seen by one
OF our citizens there about half past , o clock
and it is presumed it was about that hour
| that the fire was burning 1t was daS-
i tardly, bold act and would have resulted in
great loss to Mr. Gilbert, as he had about
| 81, 500 worth of furniture and only 5000 in
surance on it. On the building he has 81 900
insurance. His dry goods store adjoining
would have no doubt been destroyed also.
AS there had been no fire in the furniture
store that day, if it had been destroyed, the
origin of the fire would have in all proba-
! biity always remained a mystery But
providence interviewed and the incendiary
effort was defeated A night Waterman is
now on duty.
